Bought this little piece with some other bits of murano just wondered as i know very little about murano glass if it was just a generic holiday makers bit rather than anything any good, The box of bits came from a lady and she bought them a good while ago all have a great deal of wear to base's. this bit is gold leaf on blood red glass you can also see like controlled bubbles near the lip of the bowl it is 4" square. Thanks for taking a look.

:thup: Thanks Michael it does seem to have a resemblance to the linked range i have to admit mine does appear to be a litte stronger in the colour maybe, Thanks for reassuring me on the other two murano pieces thanks...

To my eye, the first piece is the quality piece. It's based on Scarpa's design for Venini. In fact, I'd look at the base very carefully to see if there's an acid stencil mark there. I see what Michael means re Zemek, although I doubt it. Could be a much later version, though.

I will get the magnifying glass out better to be safe than sorry i recenty found an acid mark on a piece of crystal after looking for one for 3 months haha...I supose i should start a new post on the last piece but put it in the bohemian glass section...Thankyou i will let you know what i find. :hiclp:

BRADBURY7308, could you perhaps add some more pics of the multicolour piece, so that we can see the colours and shape (and base) of it better?

If it has the 4 Rhapsody colours (blue, green, amber and rose) I would still vote for a later piece of this range; if not the additional pics might help in ID Here is a bowl in Jindirch´s gallery which has some similarities...

Hope these help more, How Am i gonna describe the colouring??Its difficult!! The heavy base is clear glass this encases a red and a navy blue line of coloured glass one goes to each tip of the prongs. This is the strange bit the section above where these colours are is like whitefriars sea green and not clear like the base?? Ontop of these main body colours their is an applied gloop of colour either side of the vase in amber and sky blue one on each side!! Quite an unusual lump id say any ideas???
